Jet, also known as ‘Black Amber’, is typically made from a compact velvet lignite coal that was formed from tree fossils. The chemical composition is mainly carbon with touches of oxygen and hydrogen. It is used as a gemstone due to its ability to be well polished. Jet was worn by the people of the Victorian era as a gemstone of mourning due to the loss of Prince Albert. From that time on, Jet has been the primary gemstone for almost all mourning jewelry. Jet can be naturally found in England, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, and the U.S.
